Why am I watching a video about sixer's if I have a flat four? Just because it's Franny explaining. Awesome.
After seeing the valve adjustment process for this Porsche I'll never complain about adjusting the valves on my Beetle again :)
Genius! Franny is a genius! No one does better videos regarding maintenance and explaining how to DIY, Nobelprize in pedagogical explanation and accuracy! Greetings from Sweden!
Thank you. Sold my 86 Carrera years ago and realize biggest mistake of my life. Love your videos,
I enjoy your channel and like the names Heidi and Frannie. Much more well-suited than Maggie... The video on the Porshe 356 is my favorite. You girls have something no one else has....
Franny,,,,,you are so awesome!!!! Thank you sharing all your knowledge. I have learned so much from you. Be well.
Franny, this is the only channel I have the notification bell on! Awesome work and great video production! You may prefer the Go-NoGo method, but this channel is a Go-Go for me 👏👍. Amazing!
Hi Franny (and of course Heidi!), I'm following your superb channel quite for a while, and especially since you're freshing up "Shamoo". I enjoy very much your tech. skills and details and the way you explain it! And this video about the valve adjustment on an air cooled 911 is probably the best video on this topic I've seen yet! Finally this is an all in one in place and an complete overview about adjusting the valves and the relationships between the ignition timing, turning the engine, sequence of the firing order and the tricks and pitfalls of the valve adjustments on an aircooled Porsche engine! For me as a technical interested IT guy, without being a car professional, and wrenching in my home garage on my own, this video helps a lot and lighted up all the details I ever wanted to know before I begin on my own! Well done - and keep up on telling more things like this!
Your video on valve adjustment was incredibly helpful I’ve done it several times but knowing your go Nogo was really helpful and I think I’ll do that this time I’m in the middle of the valve adjustment I thought I’d just CZcams it that I saw yours and I really like the way you work thanks
Thanks so much!
Tedious but fun. I have been doing my 911 for 40+ years. Skill power wrench speeds things up with those millions of nuts.
This is a really good point! With the engine in the car the lower cover on the left is pretty weird to get to. A power ratchet would really help for those.
You've already put thing back in the car but if you want your valve covers to shine, use Mother's aluminum polish.
I start with a 3000 grit sponge pad and finish with Mother's. You'll love the result.
What a great video. I’ve never seen better instructions on any mechanical processes. Thank you!
I know frannie loves these engines, they look like they came out of an airplane. The 3.2 did power an aircraft!!!!
Finally getting closer to finishing my 3.2 'while in their' project- and as usual your content - delivery, tips, and knowledge is absolutely invaluable!
I love you!!!
This video is like my grade school teacher teaching three methods of checking valve clearances instead of Long Division word problems!
Thanks for the Direct Lift video too...I now have my confidence back to install a four post lift....Hey! Take me to school any day!!!!
Valve adjustment; is that like an attitude adjustment? I'm kidding =)
Great tutorial! I noticed a huge boost to performance on my VWs after doing it.
....you got the patience of a saint, Franny =)
Hi Franny, keep up the good work, love wat you do.
Ruud from he Netherlands.
Most probably I will never need to do a valve adjustment. But being an engineer and a Porsche driver, this video is awesome. Maybe the best video you have made so far!
This content is so good! And helpful. Thank you for posting this. Doing my research on buying a 3.2 and this helps see what I’m in for. Cheers.
Stumbled onto your channel as I try to learn more about the 911 engine. You guys are OUTSTANDING! I enjoy how you present the information and you have an easy teaching style. Please keep them coming!
Thanks so much!
Professional through and through!
Thanks John! I hope all is well :)
Your videos are always the best at being super detailed with lots of tips. Thanks for the great work.
Wow, really amazing video. Thanks
Somehow I missed this video when it came out. As usual, top notch explanations and camera work.
Running feeler gauges over the camshaft takes more finesse than it looks 'on paper'. Often it seems a no-go situation and then, suddenly, it slips through. So I'm not surprised, really, that you had to go back and readjust some valves you thought were OK. ... One small point: the recommended procedure is to leave the spark plugs in, lest bits of carbon break free and lodge themselves on the valve seats. I suspect it's more a theoretical concern, though.
Thanks! Yes, that could be a concern. Great catch! F
What an amazing video! The explanations are so spot on to understand the process. Aside from Frannies knowledge about the car, the filming techniques are also top notch! Thank you so much!
Thanks so much!!
Great job and good education!!! (especially the different methods) Love your way of explanation and way of working.
You're one smart lady....
Oh wow, that's a lot of work. I did thoroughly enjoy watching the entire video and all the steps that went into it. I feel spoiled to have had cars that had hydraulic lifters all my life. One question tho, was that never-seize or never-sleeze you said at 28:34? 😊
Who, me? ;) Lol! Love that stuff :) Thanks so much Pat!
Frannie, that's a great idea to make up a set of instructions for yourself in going through a job! I think I could put that idea to some good use myself!
Well done great presentation 👍
Franny, great video and very enlightening! Watching you set the valves in this engine reminds me I need to check the valves on my Honda, and it is a DOHC 4 cyl 16 valve engine with everything sitting right on top. It will be a lot easier for me. I remember setting valves on my Beetle and that was relatively easy, too.
I would dread having to set the valves on the 3.2 as well. That looks difficult while the engine is in the car. Doing it with the engine out was complicated enough. Wow.
The back end method looks like the way to go at the beginning, and I love the engineered screw driver!
Yay! I always love seeing notifications for your videos. I learn so much from them and they're so well done :-)
Great Video! I'm learning so much! I can't wait to go to my local auto parts store and ask for some white nail polish so I can respond with " well Franny uses it to highlight her flywheel marks and if it's good enough for her, it's good enough for me"........keep the videos coming!
LOL!! Thanks so much!
I have been watching your videos - Really awesome job on explanation throughout your videos and most of all the honesty. You mention your trials and errors in previous videos and 6 hours of going through the valve adjustment - most people would have omitted that part - but this gave an upmost realistic idea of what is required maintaining your engine. I am more than impressed with your organizational skills, due diligence, research, and time put into this project. Engine looks awesome! very nice work!
Thanks so much for your really nice comment. :)
Thank you for another wonderfully done video.
Great video with excellent tips. The sealed and open chambers of this type of engine remains an interesting design. Loved the tip on the 240 degrees rotation of the crank in order to keep working on the same side of the engine. It makes total sense. The self-assembled screwdriver is awesome! A joy to watch as ever.
"Little teeny kiss of Never Sleaze" indeed! Bought my Craftsman Go-No Go feeler gauges in 1973, use them once or twice a year so there is no appreciable wear and they're still accurate. True Go-No Go's have both thicknesses on the same blade (i.e. .007 in. and .009). Don't think they'd work for your application having to bend blade 90 degrees pretty much right where the transition is. H&F, thanks for another great tutorial.
The screwdriver: GENIUS! Will that trick work on a VW aircooled mill? If so, how can I find out how much a 360 spin on the screw driver will pull out the arm?
I'm thinking (if my book sells) of investing in a Beck Spyder. I love the access and simplicity of the engineering.
Once again and as always, THANK YOU!
Great job Franny it’s fantastic to see female mechanics 🧰 technicians which is quite rare, keep up your amazing hard work kind regards from Mark in Billericay in the uk 🇬🇧🚗🇬🇧👍👍
Hi Franny that was a great video you really went in to detail explaining about how to rotate the engine over to get each of the cylinders To top dead center
Excellent video on valve adjustment. You are right about how much more difficult it is with the engine in the car. But I think if you have A/C it makes it about 1000 time more difficult.
Thanks! One tip is to unbolt the compressor and flop it over on top of the manifold. Also remove the air box cover. I know that is more fuss but will save time and aggravation in the end.
Best video out there for 911 valve adjustment. Great work. Thanks
Thanks!
Amazing knowledge. Thank you!
You videos are amazing! I’ve just bought a 3.2 and planning to do most of the maintenance myself, I love go or no go method. Keep up the amazing content. 👍👍😀😀😀
Thanks Frank! We still have a bit to go :)
Classy - Love the pearls. Great information at just the right pace. Thank you
lol, from my experience working at Eisenbud's, all LUFT Porsches 911s leak. Great video.
Excellent.
Terrific explanation of the valve adjustment process. Thank you it's very helpful. It's similar to my BMW R1200 GSA which has a two cylinder boxer engine. Great videos by the way! I am hooked!
Thanks so much!
Thank you very much for this great filmed and very educational content. Love it.👍
Greetings from Germany
Franny for President! Thank You.
Uh, yeah, no... But thanks!
Boy Franny I totally enjoy your videos. Love the detail.
You ladies are awesome! This is the best valve adjustment video on the 3.2 ever! Keep up the great work. I heard the top gaskets are only paper while the bottom exhaust ones are silicon, correct? Thanks
The top ones don't have the silicone bead. They don't really leak that much - seems it is the lower ones that do... Makes sense. There are a set of red 100% silicone gaskets for top and bottom. I'll have to check those out some day :)
Hi Heidi and Franny. Your videos are really great -as in Germany where I am located (unfortunately)- you would never see something like this and so I would like to contact you privately by that way but I do not really know how to do this by youtube from Germany. But anyway. First of all I want to let you know that I am really impressed what you are all doing together on your Porsches and I am really impressed of the American way to live their life. As I do have a cool gadget what you maybe could be interest in I would like to contact you in private. Please let me know your contacts if interested. Thanks in advance and greetings from Germany.
Great video and I just learned a hell of a lot how to adjust my 993 RS rockers / valves. Thanks for the fantastic video
Thanks Roger, I wasn't aware that the RS has manual adjusters. The standard 993 has hydraulic lifters so no valve adjustments!
My pleasure, I love to watch your channel!
I,m lucky to have this 993 Speedster project going on right now and as we dismantled the engine we found one of the hydraulic lifters damaged the camshaft. Now we have this idea of changing to manual adjusters to prevent damage again despite the extra work🙄
Great video explaining the methods to complete...
That was enjoyable. Thanks Franny.
Very good tutorial! Trying to do this on my 911sc was frustrating. Good to see you encountered the same issues. I like the degree tool, may make one up. Unfortunately my intake cover came off with a broken head bolt resting inside the cover dead space. Will have to deal with that somehow, someday. I wonder how long it had been in there?
Awesome video! I love how you inspire such confidence to do the job.
Hi Franny - Great video as usual. At 3:01 you show us your page called "3.2 Carrera Valve Adjustment Notes". Could you share that with the world somehow?
Oh wow, just noticed you guys are at 25k subscribers. Congrats! FWIW I subscribed following the shout-out from Nick Murray.
Thanks so much!
Awesome
Oh boy! how do you know all this? I'll come back when the thing is back on the road LOL :-) it is facinating though and you explain it very well.
Good job Franny!
Great video, wonderful detail. Thanks!
Did you put on the RSR rocker shaft seals and change the head studs yet?
Frannie, did you think up the idea for turning the screw 36 degrees, and making up the custom screwdriver? What an excellent idea by whoever thought it up!
No, not my idea, but pretty cool huh? Almost as much fun just to build the tool :)
@@HeidiandFranny I wonder if the air cooled VW engine has the same pitch threads on the adjustment screw? If so, 54 degrees should work in like fashion for the .006" adjustment on some engines.
caduceus33
To do a 356 engine you would have to have two screwdrivers one for .004 and one for .006. Not to mention that you might have to have two sets of go/no go gauges.
My apologies on my nubishness! I really enjoyed this video and have watched it a few times. I'm building my instruction pages and as I walk through it I'm missing an answer to a question about aligning the valves for adjustment.
When you have a cylinder aligned - say cylinder 1, with the distributor and pulley set to top dead center - does that mean that both the intake and exhaust rocker arms are in position for the valve adjustment?
I can't find where that is noted in the video (did I miss it?). I'm assuming yes - and we all know about the assumptions thing!
Thank you for awesome videos!
Hi Michael, Yes, if you are at top dead center for Cyl #1 then both the intake and exhaust valves will be closed. It is important to line up both the pulley and the distributor as the distributor turns at 1/2 speed of the pulley. So, use the distributor to get an idea what cylinder you are on and use the pulley to get the exact TDC point for that cylinder. If you have any confusion look into the spark plug hole and you should see the piston all the way up to the head. Another good check is that both the intake and exhaust rockers should be a little loose and certainly the same angle and slightly off the valves. There is no harm in just rotating the engine through a few times just to get an idea how it all works. Just make sure you don't rotate backwards - that can cause your timing chains to skip. Also it is much easier with all six spark plugs out. I hope that helps. F
Another example of the devil in the details. Great job! Good luck the rest of the way. Stay safe!
As a 964 owner I’m contemplating doing my own valve adjustment as it’s more economical. This has been truly helpful to get an idea of what to expect. Great video!
Thanks! I wished I had something like this the first time I did it... Just a simple visual would have been so helpful. It is a bit of a job, but totally do-able. You'll do great!
I like very much your video. Your are an amazing person. I am planning to adjust the valves on my 911. I know you need to drain the engine oil. However, I just change my oil. Can I remove the valve covers by just draining the oil from the engine plug and leave the oil tank undrained?
Thanks! I'm pretty sure the oil from the tank will drain into the engine... But, if you jack up the rear of the car so the car is pointed noise down you can remove the lower rocker covers with little oil loss. It doesn't have to be crazy, just enough to get the rear wheels off the ground. Place Jack stands under the car to be safe. Good luck! Franny
Super nice, as usual. Congrats. Question: despite the different intervals between valve adjustments for some of the different generations, as you mentioned, is the actual gap (both at the front/tapet and rear rocker arm) the same for all generations up to the 964? TIA
is there any torque to tighten the nut ? great video Franny !!!
The jamb nut? I couldn't find one... Probably about 8ft-lbs. It would be very difficult to torque because you have to hold the adjuster...
@@HeidiandFranny thanks , yes tolls don't exist for this ; so we have to consider an angle with the flat spanner ; your take ? never seen videos like this with so many details ; even a butcher could teardown a 911 ;-)
Well done ! ,, a great video !
¡Hola Franny!, me gustaría tener un Porsche para aplicarle tus conocimientos...
How do you stay so impeccabley clean ? I get dirtier opening the hood.
Franny keeps all her engine bays clean in order to tell when and where leaks occur. She has even used an electric toothbrush to get it clean. You need to be very careful with P cars and not just spray water in the engine bays either, or you could end up with much worse issues. If you want to stay clean, that's where it starts. Obviously, cars get dirt from roads, so you have to keep it up once you start. It's just like keeping the outside clean too. Heidi
Ma'am, you are cool.
Great job ladies you have inspired and renewed my interest in addressing my 97 993 C4S smoking issue myself. Any help, comments, or warnings you would like to share would be absolutely great and gracious of you.
If it is happening continually after start-up and when warm my guess would be valve seals. They are literally rubber "O" rings, but it is very difficult to do with the engine in the car. I hear it can be done though... Check your spark plugs (just one from each cylinder) and determine which cylinder it is, but if one is going you should do them all... Check the forums for a bit more in depth info. A little smoke right at startup is normal.
What??? These things can be checked cold? I'm still wearing the scars of being center punched by hot oil right between the eyes. The earlier 911's required them to be checked HOT under a 911 with ass up in the air.. They're definitely not like the Porsche of the 60's and 70's.
For all air cooled 911s valves are always adjusted stone cold. Best to let the car sit over night :)

Waste of my time,try and do it with the engine in the car.
I've done this many times with the engine in and it is a PITA. What I really needed was a clear, well shot video of the entire procedure so I would have a visual because you can't see much at all in the car. I didn't find one so I shot one myself. A viewer wrote in with a suggestion to remove the tin on the sides and that is a great idea. I know I will do that next time with the engine in the car. So, I learned something. Sorry you didn't.
@@HeidiandFranny I wouldn't even consider taking the tinware of ,here in the UK as most of the bolts will snap in the cam housing.
Excellent.
Thank you for sharing. Great explanation and info.
